The Cadillac ATS is a small luxury car made by General Motors under the Cadillac brand. It was produced from 2012 to 2019. The ATS was available as a four-door sedan or a two-door coupe. It is known for being Cadillac’s first smaller car in the United States since the 1980s. The ATS was built at the Lansing Grand River Assembly in the U.S. state of Michigan and in China. The interior has high-quality materials. The car also has many technology features.

History

Cadillac started working on the ATS in 2009. They wanted to create a car that could compete with smaller luxury sedans like the BMW 3 Series. The car was designed to be lightweight. It had a new platform called the GM Alpha platform. The ATS was first shown to the public in 2012. It went on sale later that year.

End of production

In 2019, Cadillac stopped making the ATS. They replaced it with the Cadillac CT4.
